A Marshalltown woman is charged with aggravated domestic assault for allegedly pummeling her live-in boyfriend with an 18-inch wooden bat.

Capt. Mike Hanken of the Marshalltown Police Department said the woman, Roxann Romig, 48, became agitated when the man made some off color remarks during an argument. Romig then allegedly lashed out with the diminutive bat beating her boyfriend in the head and leg for the comment.
